Devorah has studied numerous ancient Metaphysical traditions over the years including Astrology, Numerology and the Mythological principle of Tarot and its symbolic affinity with the deeply profound teachings of Kabbalah.

She holds a Diploma in Psychological Astrology.(Dip.Psych.Astro) and has undertaken counselling/development training adapting a Kabbalistic method of combining Spirituality and Psychotherapy with Astrology.

Psychological Astrology supports the connection to your inner wisdom and spirit. Psychological Astrology, unlike many other forms of Astrology, is not predictive, being based on the belief in your free will and choice. Having said that, in all my years of studying the various metaphysical disciplines, I have yet to find anything as accurate in describing the individual's unique relationship patterns and providing the approximate timing of events.

As well as working with individual clients one on one, she is regularly asked to consult in Astrology & Mythic Tarot for Corporate Conferences and Functions all over Australia. She has consulted at functions for Fairfax Ltd, Mercedes Benz, The Law Society of NSW, Channel 9 Network, Californian Tourist Bureau to name a few of her clients.

She has also run several Metaphysical, Mythical, Mystical & Sacred workshops as well as Astrological courses including 'Astrological Compatibility' at Sydney's renowned Nature Care College

Yes wherever you reside in the world this is a powerful time of year as we experience the Spring/Autumn equinox when the Sun shines directly on the Equator and the length of the day and the night are almost equal. And on March 20th, the same date as the equinox, the New Moon is experiencing a total solar eclipse at 29.27 degrees of Pisces, the last degree of the zodiac. Talk about an end point followed by a fresh new beginning. It’s certainly a dynamic ambiance for the entry of the Sun into Aries on the 20th March heralding the beginning once again of the astrological year. This new Moon by the way is a Super Moon, still only observers in Greenland and Iceland and parts of Northern Africa, Europe and Northern Asia will witness it. Yes, the eclipse season is in full swing and as always eclipses signal times of sudden and unexpected change. So it’s important for you to note that when an eclipse aligns closely with one of your planets, it is a very significant eclipse for you. The closer the eclipse aligns with your natal planet, the more important it is. So look for planets in degrees around the end of Pisces and beginning of Aries, the end of Virgo and beginning of Libra, the end of Gemini and beginning of Cancer and the end of Sagittarius and beginning of Capricorn. Following on two weeks later is the full moon on April 4, 2015 which will be a total Lunar Eclipse at 14 degrees and 21 minutes of Libra. So check planets around 14 degrees Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. This is when you’ll really want to know more about each planet’s influence. For example Venus is for love and Mars for action. Look them all up and take note of what planet in your chart might need a positive tweak at this time.

In the wake of the Sun’s entrance into Aries we may naturally feel inclined to be just a little bit bolder, but with Mercury lounging in dreamy Pisces our way of thinking is prone to ambivalence which may not be very productive. The soundest guidance I can suggest is to harness our inner Zen and surf the Piscean wave of heightened intuition and creativity and put it to good use when Mercury transits Aries from the 30th March onwards. This is the time to shift our thoughts into positive actions. Then on April 14th Mercury shifts into Taurus, the down to earth sign that is best known for using practical methods to develop thoughts and actions into abundance. On May 01, Mercury moves on again and enters its own mercurial sign of Gemini, urging us to re-evaluate as it retrogrades from May 19 through till Jun 11 when it will station and move forward once again.

Venus leaves sizzling Aries on the 17th March and moves into sensual Taurus where it enjoys tender aspects from Neptune and Pluto on the 23-24 and 29-30. Lookout for the Venus square to Jupiter though on the 27th, which tends to spur on excessively excessive behaviour. Venus enters the cool-headed sign of Gemini on Apr 11th and the home loving sign of Cancer on May 7th. Meanwhile, Mars continues to power through Aries until the 31st March then plots a determined course in Taurus until May 12th when it enters the sign of the twins in Gemini.

Saturn is the unlikely regeneration planet in 2015! Saturn in Sagittarius is an awkward mix given that Saturn is all about constraint and Sagittarius is the sign of increase. Nevertheless this combination actually works well together as Saturn represents the structures and boundaries that limit our lives both positively and negatively. Sagittarius rules foreign affairs, travel, religion, philosophy, laws and higher education. Under Saturn’s controlled approach, religious extremism may even begin to calm down with the inauguration of legal constraints imposed on the appalling ‘haters’ who peddle violence, prejudice and intolerance. This is a time for challenging and perhaps reforming our belief systems. What do we really believe in? How broad or narrow is our vision and viewpoint? During this cycle, the integrity of our principles and how they are applied will be examined. With Saturn in Sagittarius our challenge is in determining how clearly we see the big picture, the forest instead of the trees. We will likely have to confront issues pertaining to our personal sense of freedom and our sense of responsibility. Our level of commitment may be questioned as well. Sagittarius is the truth seeker and its tendency to blunt in your face honesty may result in us making more sincere choices as Saturn compels us to following a more meaningful path in Sagittarius.

In Mythology as in Mysticism, phenomenon usually originates in the realm of the metaphysical. To understand this, we must consider the spiritual and even physical significance associated with the Sagittarian symbolism of the bow and arrow. In examining the physicality of shooting an arrow at someone, one encounters the profound lesson that the arrow must first be pulled back toward one’s own heart in order to strike the heart of our enemy. Yes, the paradox of the bow and arrow is that one must have the courage and self honesty to pull back and examine the core of one’s own soul in order to vanquish the enemy that lies within us and outside of us.

Jupiter, Sagittarian’s ruling planet travels through the impressive sign of Leo until August and will continue to applaud its sovereignty supporting Saturn’s alchemical journey transforming Capricorn’s worthless lead into solid gold. Thanks to Jupiter the lucky Leos and other fire signs Sagittarius and Aries will reap the benefits of the good luck planet.

Letting go…

2015 inherited like last year, the ongoing and epic struggle between Uranus and Pluto but I am pleased to report that in March after seven conjunctions between 2012 and 2015, we are now through with the last frenzied square dance between the change-maker planets Uranus and Pluto. Yes Uranus square Pluto 15º Aries/15º Capricorn finally had their last face off on March 17 2015. Uranus travelling in the activist sign of Aries has confronted Pluto in traditionalist Capricorn for the last time compelling us to recognise the need for urgent and collective re-visioning. The Uranus-Pluto cycle has certainly unmasked calamity all over the world. Politically, economically, in the media and in our religious institutions, megalomaniacs and liars, dictators and dominators are being exposed for their abuse of power. The movement of these slower outer planets are usually experienced within generations on a much larger scale but it can occur in any area of your personal life as well if this kind of shift is necessary. Ultimately Uranus and Pluto serve to pressure and destroy outworn constructions so that they can be substituted and upgraded. Transformative change will begin to increase after the rebellion (Uranus) and the breakdown (Pluto) phases are over. The rebuilding stage is within reach and we can personally advance by striving to rise up above the trauma to see where change is necessary and how we can accomplish it. The potential during this time is to let go of what does not serve us so that we can experience this r/evolution personally as well as globally. 2015 will see humanity slowly prepare for a new reality to take shape.

May the Force be with You

These intense destabilising years have left their mark on humanity and now after years of intense disruption over the coming months we will begin to experience the resounding and transformative paradigm shifts and absolute breakthroughs. We are still living through the most extraordinary times witnessing the quintessential battle between the dark forces and the light. May the light force be strong within you. “You can be the Change”

Devorah has a Diploma in Psychological Astrology and has taught ‘Astrological Compatibility’ at Nature Care College, one of Australia’s most reputable Natural Therapy colleges. She adores sound and vision, the mythic, the mystical and the sacred and likes to genuinely connect with others, sharing the stories of our lives. Through her studies encompassing the deeply mystical Kabbalah, Devorah weaves ancient symbolism, myth & archetype together, and guides your intuitive awareness though personal consultations and classes.

“I am very passionate about my sacred work in Mysticism. I believe I can offer compassionate and knowledgeable guidance to my clients and indeed most of my clients have been coming back to me for years. Some mystics will promise predictions of 100% accuracy. I do not believe in that. I have been consulting a long time and am highly respected for my honesty and accuracy. Yes, you have a fate but your fate has two arms and one arm is your own. For this reason, I do not want to be viewed as a fortune teller. I am your spiritual advisor and I support you to pursue your own intuitive empowerment, so that you can take control of your situation. Still, consultations with me are deeply revealing and can be genuinely life changing if you sincerely seek clarity and peace of mind. Mysticism bestows extraordinary insight as it offers tools in how to bring your Heaven down to Earth reality.”

On the 21st of December along with the Solstice, the Sun and New Moon emerge in the Constellation of Capricorn (at 0 degrees and 6 minutes). But first a little explanation concerning the Solstice, an event that occurs twice each year once in Summer and once in Winter when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the North or South Pole. During summer the day of the Solstice is the longest day of the year and during winter the day of the Solstice is the shortest day of the year. The word Solstice originates from the Latin sol (Sun) and sistere (to stand still). On December the 21st, the sun stops moving south, sojourns, and then begins moving north. Likewise, on June 21st the sun stops moving north and starts moving south. The Solstices, together with the Equinoxes around March 21 and September 21 connect the seasons and in many cultures the Solstices denote either the beginning or the midpoint, hence the celebrations called Midsummer and Midwinter. The astrological charts of these four dates of the Solstices and Equinoxes are extremely important signposts of the conditions expected to emerge in the following 3 months. Our predecessors erected cosmological structures in order to observe and mark these important occurrences. These heritage sites of archaeoastronomy heralded what we now call astronomical observatories.

“At Stonehenge in England and at Carnac in France, in Egypt and Yucatán, across the whole face of the earth, are found mysterious ruins of ancient monuments, monuments with astronomical significance. They mark the same kind of commitment that transported us to the moon and our spacecraft to the surface of Mars.”—Edwin Krupp

Our ancestors built these monuments dedicated to the sun’s movement so that they could track the passage of periodic and cyclical change, respectfully honouring the Hermetic maxim “That which is below corresponds to that which is above, and that which is above corresponds to that which is below”. This refers to the belief, that whatever happens in our physical and emotional reality is also happening in the planetary and metaphysical plane of existence as well. And so we take in hand now the ancient round Art of Astrology and look above and below towards the future, simultaneously preserving the wisdom acquired by our sagacious elders. This sentiment, the reverence of proven tradition is the ultimate essence of Capricorn, the constellation and its emanation available to us all this month.

On the 21st of December the new moon along with the Solstice appears immediately following the Sun at 0 degrees Capricorn, a very powerful critical degree. Mark this day and all new moons in your almanac because the new moon begins a new cycle of growth, a renewal and the most powerful time each month to connect to your inner self. Use the new moon transit and the following two weeks to set your intentions so that your desires will manifest in time for the full moon in Cancer on Jan the 15th. The first day of each month is considered to be the seed level for the rest of the month.

This is a significant New Moon flaunting a total of five planets in Capricorn, including Mercury (the messenger), Venus (charisma and money) conjoined with Pluto (the lord of power). Furthermore this new moon occurs as Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler, is teetering on the cusp of changing signs from Scorpio into Sagittarius. This all occurs at the same time as the planet of change Uranus stations and turns direct on the 21st, kick-starting an inner restlessness that is not easy to pacify. Certainly as Uranus moves forward again our urge to break free of constraints will re-awaken. This lunation will arouse the desire to make radical changes but the message of the stars is to act with maturity in the pursuit of sensible, attainable goals. Recognising responsibilities is at the forefront and self-discipline and indeed self-mastery are called for in manifesting our rock solid diamond dreams into reality. I personally believe one should make their New Year’s resolutions immediately following this New Moon on December 21st. With the overabundance of planets in earnest Capricorn, sincere intention, practical application and discipline will surely result in worthy accomplishments.

Go Well in Peace, Love and Happiness,

Wishing all a Merry Xmas and a very Happy New Year

The New Moon on November 22, 2014, emerges as a crescent in the constellation of Sagittarius the same day as the Sun also moves into the sign of Sagittarius. Mark this day in your almanac because the New Moon begins a new cycle of growth, a renewal and the most powerful time each month to connect to your inner self.

Use the New Moon transit and the following two weeks to set your intentions so that your desires will manifest in time for the Full Moon in Gemini on Dec the 6th and beyond. The New Moon is considered to be the seed level for the rest of the month.

The Sun entered the sign of Libra the Scales on the same day of the Spring / Autumnal equinox when the Sun is half way around the zodiac and the days and nights are equal. Libra, sign of the scales is all about weighing and balancing everything to insure equality and fairness. It is suggested every one of us is like a grain of wheat: and when put on the cosmic scale, – Each grain can change the way the scales tip…..

“I believe,” is the key phrase used in astrology to describe the energy of Pisces. Pisces people are often more concerned with intellectual or imaginative things than with the physical or material world. This is the sign of the dreamer and sometimes Pisceans feel torn between the life they dream about and the one they actual live in. Most Pisces prefer to see the world through rose-coloured glasses and this faith is often manifested in the ‘hidden’ type of miracle. Yes when we can ‘make believe’ we can discover that things are not always as they appear…….

In October 2013 I interviewed an extraordinary woman, Ronni Khan the founder and CEO of OzHarvest, the food recycling charity doing amazing work around Australia.

OzHarvest, is a non-denominational charity that rescues excess food which would otherwise be discarded. This excess food is distributed to charities supporting the vulnerable in Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide and Brisbane. OzHarvest was founded in Sydney, November 2004. Beginning with just one van, they delivered 4,000 meals in their first month of operation.Currently in Sydney OzHarvest delivers over 320, 000 meals per month with a fleet of 11 vehicles, and Australia wide OzHarvest delivers 441,500 meals per month with a fleet of 15 vans. This equates to 147 tonnes each month.

OzHarvest began when Ronni Kahn, our founding director, decided that she was not prepared to be part of the waste cycle that is a natural outcome of the hospitality industry. Being a part of this industry for over 20 years she had seen a lot of food wasted. So she spent time researching options for dealing with the excess food. There was no organisation in Sydney that could collect the food on a regular and professional basis so Ronni decided to set up a food rescue charity herself.

Backed by The Macquarie Group Foundation which provided funds and Goodman International which provided a van and office space, OzHarvest was established and collected its first meal in November 2004.

Ronni was able to persuade a group of socially minded business people to sit on the board of OzHarvest. This voluntary board brings not only sound business disciplines to the management of OzHarvest but also compassion and generosity.
